And when it comes to the couple's six children, Jolie says she and Pitt were determined to raise a large family only "if we could be really hands-on and take the kids with us, seeing them every day."

"I'm always there on weekends," she says. "I only ever work a five-day week, and I am often there for breakfast or dinner. When I'm working, they come up at lunch. I love that I can have children."

As much as she loves her kids, Jolie understands the importance of their spending alone time with Pitt.

"It's special time for daddy when mom works for a few months," says the actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador. "And Brad is such a great dad. When I'm working, he's putting in the extra dad time, and that's special for their relationship, too."
